A background remover that keeps your quality — and your privacy

Cut out the subject of a photo without uploading it anywhere. MyPixelGuard adds only a transparency layer: the subject’s colours and resolution are never changed, and the result is saved without compression loss.

Remove the background, not the quality

  • Subject pixels stay exactly as they were.
  • Saved losslessly as PNG or TIFF.
  • Transparent background, or a solid colour of your choice.
  • Edge smoothing you can tune with a slider.
  • Before/after preview on a checkerboard.
  • Whole folders at once, with originals untouched.

How to remove a background

  1. Open Remove Background and drop in a photo or a folder.
  2. Check the preview on the checkerboard and adjust the edge smoothing.
  3. Choose a transparent or solid-colour background and where to save.
  4. Save. Your original is not changed.

How well the subject is detected depends on the photo, so always check the preview before you save. On a Mac, Remove Background needs macOS 14.

Why choose an offline background remover?

Online background removers work by sending your picture to a server. That is fine for a casual snapshot, but not for unreleased products, ID photos or pictures of people. MyPixelGuard runs on your Mac or Windows PC, so the picture never leaves it, and it works without internet.

Compare it with online services in our guide to an offline remove.bg alternative.

Frequently asked questions

Does removing the background reduce quality?

No. Only a transparency layer is added; the subject’s pixel colours and resolution are never changed.

Can I remove backgrounds from many photos at once?

Yes. Process a whole folder in one go; originals stay untouched.
